Patient name: Varsha Nitin Konghe

I am Varsha Nitin Konghe, 35 year old and I would like to share a few words about the hospital and the team. I have been a breast cancer patient and I was operated by Dr. Koppiker in August 2019. Since, then I have been closely associated with the clinic and its team. Dr. Koppiker, I believe is a great personality. Dr. Deshmukh, who designed my chemotherapy treatment has also been a great doctor to me. George brother who is in charge of the day care at PCCM has been an excellent support with a lot of help, assistance from the other staff members. The team is very friendly and co-operative with everyone and they have helped me deal with this journey better than I though I could.

Patient name: Dr Pranjali Sheth

Firstly when we came to know about my mom's condition (she is a case of right breast carcinoma) she was totally lost. Body and mind both were out of control. But we came to know about Orchid Breast Health. There were many 'Dilemas' related to disease. After meeting respected Dr. Koppiker sir and all staff here all our doubts and queries were cleared. The way sir all and staff here responded to our queries gave us all family members a feeling of relaxation.

Treatment, care for patients, proper techniques of handling patient with their condition, counselling patients and their relatives, receiving patients call and making adjustments accordingly all go here very smoothly. Utmost attention is paid to each and every patient. The Day care, the place where chemotherapy is being done, all is systematically kept and taken care of.

Thanks to Orchid Breast Health for all such facilities and care.

Patient name: Priyanka Vitkar

My name is Priyanka Vitkar. PCCM had organised health camp in which they conducted breast examination at our place. They checked every woman and called few women in their clinic who had some problems. They have done sonomammography without charging anything. Thanks to their initiative that we now realise the importance of these tests and self-breast examination. It has helped us understand the importance and seriousness of a lump in our body which we earlier assumed to be normal. As much as they educated us, they also provided free testing for these women.

They told us the symptoms of the breast cancer. Also, we got the information about the treatment and the diagnosis of breast cancer. They also trained us for self-breast examination. From the session we got the knowledge of the precaution to keep the cancer away and also the care after the cancer. All the ASHA members and workers present for the camp got the information and they were tested by the Prashanti team and all of us liked this camp very much.

Patient name: Sunita Kadam

I am Sunita Kadam, from Bavdhan PHC, Satara. Prashanti organised a camp for our workers to educate us about breast cancer and self-breast examination techniques. The members attending this camp were tested by the Prashanti volunteers and individuals with abnormalities were called to the Orchids Breast Health Clinic for further screening. During this testing, I was found to have a watery discharge from my nipple which had to be further investigated. I underwent sonomammography at the centre free of cost. I was also counselled for my reports which helped me.

The team of Prashanti did the breast examination for all ASHA members and also educated them to do it by themselves at equal intervals. Five women had some abnormal symptoms and Prashanti screened them by further tests free of cost. The team of Prashanti had a very interactive session with our workers and delivered the information in very simple language. They are working towards creating awareness in women which can help women identify abnormalities. These women can then approach Orchids Breast Health Centre for further tests.

Patient name: Usha Mahangire

In a health camp organised by PCCM, all the women were checked free of cost. The volunteers of the camp explained to us the breast cancer symptoms and the importance of self-breast examination. The camp helped create awareness among women. PCCM volunteers called few women to their clinic for further testing. I was one amongst the few women who were called in for further investigations. When I went to clinic, they give me moral support which helped me deal with my fears. I got my sonomammography done free of cost as a part of the campaign. Our society today need such initiatives to help women diagnose the abnormalities at an early stage. I am thankful to Prashanti organisation for giving me access to health care facilities and testing.

Patient name: Mrs. Sucheta Limaye
Age: -
Occupation: Housewife
Treatment Cost:

One of our patients and conqueror, Mrs. Sucheta Limaye, was treated for metastatic breast cancer at Orchids. Sharing her experience she said, "I was diagnosed with 4th stage metastatic breast cancer in May 2015. During the initial shock and panic, I got myself admitted to another hospital in Pune where the doctors insisted I should go in for a port and aggressive chemotherapy without waiting for the full biopsy results. I checked myself out and came to Dr. C.B. Koppiker for a second opinion. What an emotional relief I got by his calming words. He said, 'There is urgency, but no emergency! Let all test results come. Take your time, get other opinions if you wish and start when you are ready'. When the treatment protocol was finalized, I visited a few other hospitals before deciding to have the chemotherapy at Orchid's. Dr. C.B. Koppiker 's and Dr. Deshmukh's presence was a big factor of course, but the 'non-hospital' ambiance, the cheerful and friendly staff and the super efficient, deft handed Brother George tipped the balance irrevocably in Orchid's favour. I am glad about the decision! The daycare administration of the chemotherapy on a comfortable recliner goes like a breeze. Today is the 38th IV administration of my chemotherapy and that too without having to use a port!"
